that is their effort on social policy and then otherwise, you're sdwruft saving money for the pentagon. so i suppose we can call it a starting point. >> let me bring in congressman charlie rangel, always good to see you, congressman. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm guessing you're not going to jump on board this republican plan for the $282 billion in funding. having said that, do you want to look for a way to, for example, mitigate some of the impact of what's going on at the pentagon? >> well, i don't know. i leave the national security questions to our leaders and i think making it apool to the american people on patriotism sometimes gets away from the fact that we don't have to be going through what we're going through now. each side can take which acts they want to hit us with, whether it's domestic program or military spending. but the truth of the matter is that the silence of the private sector for what is happening to our economy, the silence of the churches as to what's happening to our poor is what i really don't understand. it's not the republican party that's just do

all of the comments from the white house and pentagon on background basically have been steering us in that direction. i think the president is broaden the coalition and getting support from turkey and arab nations it gives much more credibility. this isn't going to be shock and awe. i think very limited strikes and i think the message you cannot use chemical weapons. i think what they are probably debating in the white house how does this affect the larger situation over there and i think the answer, it doesn't. this is not really, i don't think, a strategically thought through step where they know all of the chess moves that come next. this is basically just following through on the president's threat really that if they cross this red line, that he would act. if he didn't act, he would look -- on the national stage and other countries, particularly iran could take a message on that. >> take a listen to what the president said before. >> a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. that would change my calculus. >> the red li
